FOCUSRITE Scarlett 2i2

Pricelist : 180 $

The Scarlett 2i2 is a 2 in / 2 out USB recording interface featuring
two award-winning Focusrite preamps. Housed in an attractive anodised
aluminium unibody chassis, the interface not only sounds fantastic but
looks great too. What’s more it’s solid enough to take on the road when
you travel. The Scarlett 2i2 is much more than just a pretty metal
box...

25 Years of experience
For more than 25 years, Focusrite has designed some of the
most popular microphone preamps in the industry. This experience has
been used to create the transparent, low-noise and low-distortion preamp
found not only in the Scarlett 2i2 but also our flagship Firewire
interface, the Liquid Saffire 56. Plenty of available headroom makes it
suitable for moving coil, condenser and ribbon microphones regardless of
the source. Phantom power is provided for mics that need it.

Plug straight inThe front panel Neutrik combination input can be used to connect line
and instrument level signals as well as microphones. This makes it
perfect for recording the output of a synthesizer or stage piano, whilst
at the flick of a switch you can cater for the output of an electric or
acoustic guitar.

Keep an eye on your levels
Unique halo indicators let you know that you’ve got a good signal
level for recording. Red means that your signal is clipping, and that
you should reduce the gain. The halo will momentarily turn amber as the
level returns to a healthy level, at which point it will turn green.

Flexible monitoring options
A large monitor dial provides a tactile control for the volume of
your speakers, whilst a high quality headphone amp provides a clean yet
loud signal to headphones connected to the front panel socket. The
direct monitor switch routes audio directly from the inputs to both the
headphone and speaker outputs. This allows you to monitor the incoming
signal with zero-latency.

Polish your mix

The
included Scarlett Plug-In suite provides effects compatible with all
major DAWs; so whether you're using GarageBand, Pro Tools 9, Cubase,
Logic or the included Ableton Live Lite, Scarlett 2i2 is the complete
package for you to get recording straight away.
